Home and Away's Nikau Parata facing life-changing decision after news from Gemma
Will he leave Summer Bay?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ecision-gemma/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away couple Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon are facing an uncertain future on Australian screens yet again ? just days after reuniting.

Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) and Bella (Courtney Miller) got their relationship back on track last week, after Colby Thorne's affair with Taylor Rosetta briefly caused tensions between them.

However, this week's Australian episodes have seen the young couple run into more trouble after Nikau received an unexpected call from his mum Gemma.

Gemma left Summer Bay in July when she travelled to New Zealand to scatter the ashes of her late husband Mikaere. Although this was presented on screen as a temporary trip, show bosses confirmed that actress Bree Peters had departed the show.

Earlier this week, Gemma's fate was finally resolved as she called Nikau and revealed that she wouldn't be returning to Summer Bay.

Gemma wanted to stay in New Zealand to be closer to her own mum, who's getting older, but she asked Nikau if he'd come to live with her again.

The request threw Nikau's stable life in the Bay up in the air again, as he questioned whether he should stay with his uncles ? and Bella ? or head to New Zealand to be with his mum.

As Nikau weighed up his options, he asked Bella's brother Colby Thorne to remove the travel ban on his passport, just in case he opted to leave.

Although Bella was upset at the possibility of losing Nikau, she ultimately took a mature approach by promising to support whatever decision he made.

In Thursday's triple bill of episodes, Nikau's uncle Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) was annoyed to hear about Nikau's dilemma second-hand, as Marilyn Chambers filled him in at the Diner.

Ari was disappointed at the possibility of Nikau leaving, but struggled to get hold of him to discuss it as Nikau was spending some time away with Bella. Will Nikau really leave when his dilemma comes to a head in upcoming episodes?

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's Tane Parata in shock new storyline after trip away
Will he be okay?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...hospital-dash/

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian readers.

Home and Away bosses are lining up another dramatic hospital dash for Tane Parata.

Tane (Ethan Browne) has been absent from Australian screens in recent days, as his new boss Ziggy Astoni sent him off to the city to find someone who could deal with the stolen goods they'd been lumbered with after his dodgy job went wrong.

Although Tane was determined to make things right with Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) when he headed out of Summer Bay, he later went off radar and stopped responding to her texts.

The only clue came when Tane briefly called Ziggy and she heard him caught up in what seemed to be a violent scene of chaos, before the line went dead.

With no help forthcoming from Tane, desperate Ziggy was forced to seek assistance from a different source ? Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts).

Willow's history of cleaning up Dean Thompson and Colby Thorne's messes worked out well when she reached out to a dodgy contact from her past and successfully found a buyer for the stolen goods.

Willow even arranged a road trip for her and Ziggy to offload the stash, hoping it would be a fun trip despite the high-stakes circumstances.

Home and Away has revealed that Tane will finally return to Summer Bay on Australian screens next week, in a bad state after getting caught up in a shock incident.

Tane has a head injury, abdominal pain and it's also soon revealed that he has a tear in his liver.

The bad boy is rushed to hospital, much to the concern of his loved ones. But what exactly did he get up to during his time away?

Home And Away heartthrob Tane?s life is on the line after a brutal attack this week
And, it could spell trouble for the WHOLE family.

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...attacked-65699

When Tane left Ziggy with a van of stolen goods and no note, she assumed he had skipped town to avoid being arrested. But in a horrifying moment in Home And Away, Tane reappears after being attacked by the criminals he had been dealing with.

At the farmhouse, Tane (Ethan Browne) returns from the city, barely upright as he stumbles through the door and collapses.

But no-one is there to help him. Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) has gone on a girls' getaway, and Mac (Emily Weir) is in the arms of her boyfriend Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) at the Parata house.

It's only when Mac returns home a day later that she finds Tane unconscious on her floor. Has he been left alone too long?

"When Mackenzie finds him the next morning, she takes him to the hospital," Ethan tells TV WEEK. "There's a sense of danger and urgency, but Tane is physically unable to do anything to better the situation with the thugs, as he's injured and in hospital."

At the hospital, doctors Tori (Penny McNamee) and Christian (Ditch Davey) conclude Tane has a torn liver and severe head injuries.

Tane insists he has to leave ? he needs to talk to Ziggy about the van ? but the doctors persist in treating him.

After a heated debate, Tori declines to operate on Tane and lets time heal his wounds. In 24 hours, they'll know more ? particularly as Tane isn't willing to admit he was attacked.

"He needs to get in touch with Ziggy and Willow [Sarah Roberts], who have taken the van of stolen goods to dispose of it," Ethan explains.

"But now, Tane needs it back, otherwise there's going to be major trouble. His life is in danger."

The next day, Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) visits his uncle and is disheartened to learn of his criminal doings.

Tane apologises for falling into old habits, but there's more ? they have to leave town. With a price on his head and a target on their backs, Tane urges Nikau to leave Summer Bay, immediately.

Looks like trouble is only just beginning for the Parata boys?

Home and Away's Nikau Parata makes a life-changing offer to Bella Nixon
Will they really go?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...land-decision/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata has offered his girlfriend Bella Nixon a new life in New Zealand, as their future continues to hang in the balance.

A new storyline currently on air in Australia sees Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) questioning his future in Summer Bay, as his mum Gemma wants him to come and live with her.

Nikau has been giving the idea serious consideration after learning that Gemma plans to stay in New Zealand rather than returning to the Bay.

This week's Australian episodes have seen the story take a new twist, with Nikau's uncle Tane (Ethan Browne) warning that the Parata family are in danger.

Tane's recent dodgy behaviour has put him at odds with a criminal gang, who have started to threaten him. With this in mind, Tane encouraged his nephew to leave the Bay and keep himself safe.

In the closing moments of Tuesday's Australian episode (October 27), Nikau's mind appeared to be made up as he told Bella (Courtney Miller) that he may have to leave.

As Bella didn't want to be parted from him, Nikau suggested that she could come too and they'd start a new life together.

Bella has lots of ties to Summer Bay ? including her brother Colby Thorne and their close friendships with Dean Thompson and Willow Harris. But could Colby's recent out-of-control behaviour amid the Ross Nixon murder investigation inspire Bella to leave?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in a month's time.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's Tane Parata to be arrested after trouble with a gang
His dodgy dealings have landed him in major hot water.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...parata-arrest/

Home and Away spoilers for Australian-pace episodes follow, which UK readers may want to hold off on for now.

Home and Away's Tane Parata will find himself arrested in upcoming scenes.

Recent Aussie episodes of the soap showed him hospitalised after he was attacked by a gang of thugs due to a secret stash of drugs he was in possession of.

The criminals told him he needed to cough up $25,000 or else, and this week Tane is going to find out what the 'or else' is the hard way.

As detailed in Australia's TV Week, Tane discharges himself from hospital and rushes back to protect his family and recover the van where the drugs are, only to run into Leon and his gang again.

"Tane's life is in real danger," actor Ethan Browne said. "He just wanted to do a quick job and be done, but that doesn't turn out to be the case."

The showdown is witnessed by Bella, Ryder and Mac, and the latter calls the police to come and sort things out. They turn up and arrest the thugs, but also arrest Tane and Ari too. Are they done for, or can they avoid getting sent down for their dodgy dealings?

UK viewers will see these episodes in about a month's time.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's Tane Parata to make a big confession in season finale
Justin is in for a shock.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...le-confession/

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

Home and Away's Tane Parata has to come clean to Justin Morgan about his recent criminal activity when his big mistake catches up with him.

Tane (Ethan Browne) is horrified when the reputation of the local garage is put at stake as a result of his behaviour.

A recent storyline saw Tane use the garage to stash a stolen van full of dodgy goods after Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman) gave him a job there. Ziggy quickly caught him out and allowed him to move the vehicle to her house while they considered their next move.

While Tane later went AWOL when he was supposed to be sorting the troubling situation out, Ziggy teamed up with Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts) to get the van out of Summer Bay.

This only made matters worse for Tane, as there were drugs hidden in the vehicle too and he was left in debt to dangerous criminals.

In next week's Australian season finale episode of Home and Away, Ziggy is horrified when police arrive at the garage unexpectedly.

The officers are searching the premises for stolen goods, much to the surprise of Justin (James Stewart).

Ziggy fears the possible implications of this, wondering whether the van has been found and reminding Tane that her fingerprints will be all over it.

Wanting to keep Ziggy out of trouble with her boss, Tane tells Justin that he was responsible for using the garage to stash stolen goods.

How will Justin react to the news that his business was embroiled in illegal activity during his recent health scare?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early 2021.

Home and Away returns to Channel 5 (UK) in January. The show's Australian season finale airs on Monday at 7pm on Channel 7.

Home and Away reveals hit-and-run horror for Ari Parata in shock new storyline
But who's the driver?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...a-hit-and-run/

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

Home and Away's Ari Parata will be the victim of a hit-and-run on Australian screens next week.

The new Channel 7 trailer (above) centres on Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) and Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir), as Mackenzie prepares to tell her ex-partner that she's pregnant with his baby.

But just as she readies herself to tell the truth, a car appears to deliberately mow down Ari ? leaving his fate uncertain.

Viewers in Australia have recently seen Ari breaking up with Mackenzie after he realised he still had feelings for his ex-partner Mia Anderson (Anna Samson).

Although Ari and Mia have reunited, Ari is unaware that Mackenzie is pregnant ? and the promo shows Mackenzie opening up to her friend Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman).

"I'm carrying Ari's child. He doesn't even know he could be a father," she says. "I have to tell him."

It is unclear who's behind the hit-and-run and the reasons why, but Ari and the Parata family are currently in danger from Paul and Leon, who are seeking revenge.

Channel 7 in Australia aired scenes showing Nikau Parata, Bella Nixon, Ryder Jackson and Chloe Anderson all being kidnapped by Paul and Leon, although thankfully the teenagers were rescued when Ari and Tane Parata arrived.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home And Away?s Ari is left fighting for life when he?s struck in a deadly hit and run
''Ari is blindsided by the car.''

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...-ari-die-67060

Summer Bay is left reeling this week when Ari is mown down from behind in a savage hit-and-run accident in Home And Away.

Loved ones rally to Ari's side as his life hangs by the most slender of threads.

Is this the end for Ari?

We pick things up with Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) trying to reconcile with his ex, Mia (Anna Samson). She's about to skip town with her daughter Chloe (Sam Barrett), fed up with Ari's involvement with crim Paul (Jake Finsterer) and his cronies ? which led to Chloe being kidnapped along with three other local youngsters.

Having recently pulled the pin on his relationship with Mac (Emily Weir), Ari pleads for Mia to stay. But she remains steadfast ? and declares she regrets letting him back in her life. Ouch!

"Ari is heartbroken ? he's faced with losing the love of his life," Rob tells TV WEEK. "And who wouldn't be angry if their daughter was kidnapped?

"Mia felt he had changed and it pains her to think he's still the same guy, who will end up back in jail again. She doesn't want to risk wearing her heart on her sleeve again."

A dejected Ari walks along the road as he makes one final call to Chloe before she leaves. And then, from out of nowhere, a car roars up behind Ari, knocking him to the ground before speeding off.

The driver? You guessed it: Paul.

"Ari is blindsided by the car," Rob says. "It's a ruthless hit-and-run."

At hospital, it's clear Ari has multiple injuries and is placed in a medically induced coma. After looking at his scans, Dr Christian (Ditch Davey) delivers the grim news: Ari has a bleed on his brain and needs immediate surgery.

Meanwhile, Mac, who decides she'll tell Ari she's pregnant with his baby, is knocked sideways when she hears of his condition. C'mon, Ari, pull through?
